FancyZones not working at all in 0.15.1 #1451
Comments
Hi @dixonte EDIT: for other users that may have the same problem: before deleting the registry key, can you please save the key and posted here? Try a full cleanup of all PowerToys settings:
|
Same here, the workaround from @enricogior worked. |
This worked for me. |
Increasing severity of bug |
Fix did not work for me. I uninstalled 15.1 (as well as original 14.1, several times each), then deleted the folder and the key as suggested above. I would think all traces of Power Toy should have been off my system, but starting fresh install of 15.1 showed the "repair or remove" dialog. I tried remove yet again. Checked folder and key, still gone. Then tried fresh install again of 15.1. This time install proceeded as expected, but Win+` doesn't work, and opening settings and clicking on [Edit Zone] in FancyZones settings does nothing. Must still be something in my system hidden away somewhere. What else can I delete, reset, or whatever? BTW, rebooting several times during all this hasn't helped. I'm stuck, and I really liked FancyZones! Ideas? How can I completely remove all traces of Power Toys so I can start over? |

Just to make sure, were you able to open the FancyZones editor? |
Yes, this worked. |
Today I gave it another try, while jotting down each step...

@jaccz There are only four steps to do, you don't need to uninstall/reinstall or reboot:
If the problem persists, open the Event Viewer, go to |
Hi Enrico,
I exited PowerToys, deleted the folder, and checked the registry.
Restarting PowerToys still resulted in the same problems with FancyZones.
I then checked into Event Viewer and found a sequence of errors all
mentioning FancyZones. I copied them in chronological order to create a PDF
file for review. I'll attach that PDF.
Thanks for checking into this situation. In recent months have found FancyZones to be a
great productivity tool. I do hope to be able to use it again!

you should not run Microsoft's repair program after deleting the
AppData\Local\Microsoft\PowerToys folder and the SuperFancyZones reg key.
There are only four steps to do, you don't need to uninstall/reinstall or
reboot:
- make sure PowerToys is not running
- delete AppData\Local\Microsoft\PowerToys
- delete the SuperFancyZones reg key (at this point it shouldn't exist
anymore, but make sure)
- restart PowerToys
If the problem persists, open the Event Viewer, go to Windows Logs ->
Application and search for an error with source .NET Runtime that has Application:
FancyZonesEditor.exe has first line in General tab, copy the entire
content and post it here, that will allow to understand what is causing the
error.
Thanks.
